Iowa Intermediary Information
Contacting your area intermediary coordinator is a great way for students to explore the world of career awareness and workplace readiness, for businesses interested in sharing opportunities in their industry, and educators who want to connect classroom instruction with future careers. An example of a way they can be used in the classroom is through mock interviews that can be set up by your intermediary coordinator.
